Under one
umbrella, I pulled you closer
Both rattled
when I grabbed your shoulder
You stared
where my hand landed
Didn’t move,
nervous and jittered
You’re presence,
warm as the summer
My feelings,
bizarre as this weather
Our heartbeats,
silenced and drowned
By the sun’s
warmth and heavy rain’s sound
As the downpour
plays strange music
The sun
danced to its peculiar tune
Oh is this some
kind of sorcery
Elated,
confused but still happy
It echoes
longingness
Though you’ve
always been near
Oh the
burden of the unspoken
Mimicked by
the cries of heaven
But confusion
got the better of me
And feared
what we ought to be
So I took my
hand off, as you looked at me baffled
You gazed
back at your shoulder, now this made me wonder
What were
you thinking back then
When the rain
poured heavy and the sun shone brightly
And as we
walked slowly, body to body
Was it pure
bliss or just pure silence and perplexity?
